Tis (host) 3:05:36 AM
and thank you, TAndy - for getting on the air, you mean? :)
TAndy 3:06:23 AM

Revenge of the Band Camp Geeks
TAndy 3:15:19 AM
This is the second Pawtucket based musical piece to air on the station in a 24 hour period, and a reminder to me that Pawtucket is a real place and not just a funny beer name from Family Guy
Tis (host) 3:15:45 AM
Rhode Island is kind of a hidden gem sometimes
Mike Hunter 3:28:38 AM
you at the Barge?
Tis (host) 3:29:15 AM
Wouldn't want to be anywhere else :)
Mike Hunter 3:29:27 AM
Yeah, the snopw kept he LRB tonight
Mike Hunter 3:29:32 AM
snow
Tis (host) 3:30:01 AM
I have yet to learn about that life
Tis (host) 3:30:13 AM
And the drive was short and delightfully safe
Mike Hunter 3:31:29 AM
yeah, it's 25min for me...so, I played it safe. It probably would have been fine. Have a good show! Time for sleep....
Tis (host) 3:31:40 AM
Enjoy it! Thank you for checking in :)
TAndy 3:31:59 AM
gn mike, thanks for the show
TAndy 3:37:42 AM
Love this piece.
TAndy 3:40:21 AM
I love how Kobayashi managed to sneak a stanky jazz fusion bass line in this one
Tis (host) 3:48:01 AM
omg same - there's a certain quality of video game bass, that yasunori mitsuda bass, that cannot be beat
Tis (host) 4:18:53 AM

Tis (host) 4:19:44 AM
I mean maybe it'll be enjoyable?
TAndy 4:22:43 AM
The Bandcamp Beatdown (All they do is encircle you and aggressively jam out)
Tis (host) 4:24:04 AM
Love it! Why not
Tis (host) 4:24:17 AM
Breakdancing in the middle of the circle optional, but encouraged
TAndy 4:27:18 AM
Dancing is required or the tuba player will pace closer to you until you are within the Danger Zone.
Tis (host) 4:28:26 AM
lol
Tis (host) 4:29:08 AM
Now also imagining highway to the danger zone arranged for tuba
TAndy 4:30:17 AM
LOL! That needs to happen.
